Why is cyber security more important than ever?

In the last few years, cyber-crime has seen rapid growth and all businesses should ensure constant security managing and monitoring. Let’s look at the example of this pharmaceutical company in Florida.

Evan has been running his pharmaceutical company for the last couple of years and being a pharma company, their data consisted of important formulas and compounds.

One morning he discovered that his main business application stopped working. Whenever they wanted to access the application, a ransomware message popped up on their computers. To his horror, he found out that the business application’s server had been compromised. Evan had two choices: either he pays the ransom to get the data released or he starts everything from scratch. If he could not pay, he would suffer a loss of data and therefore revenue. This is when he contacted the cyber security team of RYC Business IT.

The RYC Business IT team isolated the affected device, cleaned it up and retrieved the data from the backup and helped restore the environment back to its original state. They also configured the company’s devices to strengthen it against any future ransomware attacks.

The benefits of cyber security

Cyber attacks can range from malware that tracks your keystrokes so that your credit card or banking details can be taken by criminals, to ransomware that encrypts your data files, to phishing emails. Irrespective of the size of a business, any cyber attack can be a major cost. A cyber threat can cause customers to lose trust in the business, moreover, having a reputation of poor cyber security which can then cause the business to lose new contracts.

The cyber-attacks over a period of time have become more sophisticated and businesses need to be prepared that at some point a breach may happen. Thus, implementing controls before the damage can be done is essential. Businesses have to ensure that their devices are managed properly so that cyber criminals do not get the opportunity to find a way into their business.
